PaxDebugger v1.0 is out! Major changes are:

• Compatibility with the new amazing paxScript version 1.8
• Now the code editor stores last used line for each module. So opening module again, the code editor will be positioned in the correct line, instead to start showing always the first code line.
• Stability has been improved a lot, in particular for ISAPI-like application. Now all visibile items are not created when PaxDebugger is not in debug mode. So using it as a pure executor is now possible, also in ISAPI application (or similar cases, when canvases and graphic items may crash the whole application).
• New complete set of import units. Now all Delphi units have got a correspondent import unit. PaxDebugger package brings Delphi5, 6 and 7 versions.
• 3 new public methods (CutToClipboard, CopyToClipboard, PasteFromClipboard). They exchange clipboard informations with the code editor.
• Module tabs can be dragged&dropped.
• Now PaxDebugger saves also windows proportions.
• New script sample, it tests many Delphi classes into script engine.
• Fixed an annoying bug in 'Call function' utility, available in the main form.

[23 February 2004]
PaxDebugger beta2 version is out! Here's list of changes:

• 'Search in project' feature has been added. Now is possible to search for text in the entire project.
• New import units for Delphi6 / 7: IMP_AdoDB.pas and IMP_DateUtils.pas. They are not required to compile and use PaxDebugger, but they can be used to add AdoDB and DateUtils extensions to the script engine.
• New StayOnTop component property.
• A font size option has been added to the IDE settings.
• 'Compile' menu' item has been moved from 'Run' menu' to 'Project' menu'. Now PaxDebugger IDE is more Delphi-like.
• New public methods and properties to governate some code editor aspects (Undo, Redo, SelectAll, EditorCaretX, EditorCaretY, EditorTopLine, EditorBlockBegin, EditorBlockEnd).
• Included a complete SynEdit 1.1 stable archive with Delphi 7 installation support. This will help Delphi 7 users that have had problems installing PaxDebugger, due to a missing SynEdit Delphi 7 installation package (the one dowloaded from SourceForge has not Delphi 7 installation package). For more information, please read installation tutorial.
• Many bug fixes.
• Compatibility with the new paxScripter 1.7
